Chapter 14: The Duel between Monarchs and Ministers

In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the door is closed, it is very dark, I saw that Yuwentai was sitting in the middle hall at this time, it looked extremely heavy, and he kept wiping the bright ring-headed war knife with a cloth, and the important ministers under the seat were silently staring at their boss, Yuwentai picked up the scabbard and put the ring-head knife into the sheath and stood up. Walked down the middle hall, came to the main hall, glanced at the important ministers present, and said calmly: "Brothers, you are all my old pillars, and it is important to discuss the sudden transfer of everyone back!" I'm going to make a decision right away! ”

Governor Li Hu took the lead in standing up and bowing and said, "My lord, but if you have orders, you can do everything!" ”

At this time, Yuwentai walked to the steps under the middle hall, looked back at the ministers and said: "Everyone, there are two major things to discuss today, one: the emperor Yuan Bao Torch earned me into the harem a few days ago and wanted to kill me!" ”

Among the ministers, Li Bi stood up indignantly and said: "The lord treats him so kindly, not only does he not know kindness, but he harbors evil intentions, lord, you give an order!" We are all at the will of the Lord! ”

Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong and others all responded: "Yes! The lord but give orders! ”

Only the Grand Governor Yu Jin and the Chief Governor Lu Wei did not agree, as if they were pondering something.

Yu Wentai waved his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said to Jin: "Yu Dadu Governor is silent, what is his opinion?" ”

Governor Yu Jin suddenly stood up, and saluted Yuwentai with both hands: "Lord, the minister is thinking, after the emperor's death, the situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, the minister is disrespectful, and the minister's next words may offend the lord, but the minister still has to speak!" ”

Yu Wentai turned around and walked to the middle hall to sit on the chair behind the desk, waved his hand and said, "Governor Yu, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, you have always been thoughtful, don't be shy about it!" ”

Governor Yu Jin came to the center of the hall, looked around at the surrounding ministers, and then glanced at the main book Lu Bi, only to see Lu Bi nodding to the Governor of Jin, Yu Jin Dadu said to Yu Wentai in the middle hall: "Lord, the minister thinks of two key words, split, disaster!" Yu Wentai frowned and said, "The Metropolitan Governor explains!" ”

Governor Yu Jin said: "Since the last time I criticized and attacked the Eastern Wei army for a counterattack, the drought was raging, and if the emperor was abolished again, it would inevitably completely push the Great Wei clan to our mortal enemy Gao Huan!" ”

Li Hu stood up at this time and laughed: "What Governor Yu Jin said is inevitably biased, Emperor Xiaowu seriously interfered with the government before, wasn't he disposed of?" ”

Yu Jin glanced at Li Hu, and then said to Yu Wentai in the middle hall: "The minister thinks that the time should be shifted, the environment at that time is favorable to us, and it is dangerous to do the same thing now. ”

Yu Wentai hesitated for a moment, and then motioned to Yu Jin Dadu Governor with his right hand: "Dadu Governor, finish your words, what are the four major reasons?" ”

At this moment, several important ministers listened carefully with their ears pricked up.

Yu Jin said slowly: "First, it will inevitably affect the image of the lord in the eyes of the world, and second: the Western Wei Dynasty will be divided, and then it will be separated from Germany, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty will attack at this time, which will inevitably weaken the combat power; Third: the most important thing is the people's heart, although the Great Wei exists in name only, but the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff; Fourth: Give the Eastern Wei an excuse to take advantage of our internal worries to send troops to attack, and the princess is the aunt of Emperor Wei, can she sit idly by? ”

The chief bookkeeper, Lu Wei, immediately got up and bowed to Yuwentai, and then answered: "The minister agrees with the Governor of Yu's proposal!" ”

Dugu Xin also stood up at this time and saluted: "Lord, the minister thinks that the Governor of the Metropolitan will analyze and break into the inside, and I hope that the Lord will see it!" ”

The ball seemed to be thrown back into Yuwentai's hand, Yuwentai pondered for a while, looked around and said: "The world is undecided, the situation is reversed, Yu Dadudu's words can be described as far-sighted, and he must not be observed, but, let him do whatever he wants, there will be no peace in the rear!" ”

Lu Wei answered at this time: "The lord, you can calm his heart, the lord can lead a military horse into the palace, kill the people around him, and replace it with the people of the colonel's mansion to closely monitor it!" The minister is in charge of the school affairs and must live up to his mission! ”

Yu Wentai said: "The words of the master book are very good for me!" Do you have any objections? ”

Zhao Gui stood up at this time and saluted: "The lord has a heart and an example for my generation!" ”

Yuwentai looked around and continued: "The above is one thing, and then there is dealing with drought!" Ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning of Guanzhong, the imperial treasury was empty, so I thought of a strategy with the main bookkeeper to raid Hongnong and occupy its granary to solve the dilemma of the Western Wei Dynasty! ”

Dugu Xin got up at this time and said, "Lord, is this matter too hasty?" In case Hongnong can't be attacked for a long time, the Eastern Wei army is dozens of times that of us, and our army is in danger of being annihilated! ”

Yuwentai listened to Dugu Xin's words, did not express his position, and motioned to Lu Wei beside him and said: "Master book, explain the battle strategy in detail to all the governors and generals. ”

Lu Wei took out a military map from his sleeve and placed it on the desk in the middle hall, and several people quickly got up and surrounded him, Lu Wei pointed to the military map at this time and said to everyone: "This battle is two ways to enter the army, the lord has sent a secret envoy to marry Rou Ran a few days ago, if Rou Ran agrees to raise troops from Mobei to raid and merge with the state, contain Jinyang, our army will select elite soldiers and strong generals, raid Hongnong!" The north and the south are attacked, and the first battle can determine Hongnong! ”

Yu Wentai said sternly at this time: "You are all my old pillars, this battle is very important, you must prepare carefully!" Brother Li Hu sits in Chang'an, and can discuss with the master book in case of trouble, Yu Jin Dadu Governor returns to Guangyang to unify the army, Li Bi Dadu Governor, General Da Xiwu stays, and the rest of you all go back to the council, wait for the news, the marriage is certain, and our army should send troops immediately! ”

All the ministers said in unison: "No, lord! ”

The ministers took two steps back, turned around and walked out.

Yu Wentai casually picked up the ring-headed saber placed on the desk, took out half of the saber, and ordered: "Governor Li Bi, General Da Xiwu, you two divide your battalion and soldiers and horses into the palace with me!" What should come is always coming! With that, he put his sword into his sheath, got up and walked to the door of the main hall.

Li Bi and Da Xiwu said in unison: "No, lord!" ”

The next day, the ministers were already waiting in Weiyang Palace with wat boards.

However, Emperor Wei's ingots in the harem did not move for a long time, and he sat in the position of the middle hall of the harem, as if he had a premonition of his consequences, and suddenly a eunuch hurriedly reported to him: "Your Majesty! Yuwen national thief... Lead the black pressure to suppress the soldiers and horses... On the royal road to the palace! ”

Emperor Wei Yuanbao Torch didn't have any expression, but said generously: "Change the dragon robe, put on the crown, I want to leave like an emperor!" After saying that, his eyes were moist.

At this time, under the tall walls of the palace, the black pressure marched footsteps, unified black cloak, black armor, all with animal faces, led by Yu Wentai led the army to walk in the front with murderous spirit, followed by the metropolitan governor Li Bi, General Da Xiwu, walking on the royal road.

After a while, he walked to Weiyang Palace, and the black pressure poured into Weiyang Palace, and the ministers who had already been in the main hall did not know what was going on, and at this time, Emperor Wei's ingots torch was already waiting on the emperor's throne in the council hall, and his eyes were not afraid, and his eyes were calm when he saw the situation.

Yuwentai and his two thousand elite soldiers did not care about the ministers around them, and walked straight to the bottom of the throne steps, Yuwentai was dressed in armor, and walked to the emperor's throne without hurrying on the imperial steps with a sword at his waist.

At this time, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest princess Feng Yi changed into men's clothes and hurriedly rode on the horse, only to see her whipping the horse galloping on Chang'an Street.

There was tension in the Weiyang Palace, and the ministers all watched all this with bated breath, no one dared to make a sound, and the Grand Governor Li Bi also followed Yuwentai to the throne to guard the defense.

Yuwentai took out the ring-headed saber and threw it at the feet of Emperor Wei's ingot-torch, Emperor Wei's ingot-torch subconsciously stood up and hid aside, Yuwentai knelt down for Emperor Wei when he saw the situation and said sharply: "Your Majesty, don't you want to kill the ministers?" It is said that the minister is a thief and a thief! Come on! Kill the national thief! ”

Yuwentai waited innocently for Emperor Wei's Yuan Bao Torch to pick up the sword and kill him, and the ministers watched the staged scene in amazement.

Emperor Wei Yuanbao Torch subconsciously knelt down and said: "Prime Minister, the things of the past are all blamed for me misbelieving others to provoke, and there are a lot of prime ministers!" ”

Yuwentai saw that Emperor Wei also knelt on the ground and said sharply: "The minister doesn't dare, you are the king, the minister is just your minion, how dare you bow to Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to fold the minister's life?" Your Majesty, please rise! ”

Emperor Wei's ingots torch was stunned at the moment, and he didn't say anything from Yuwentai, only to see Yuwentai shouting to Emperor Wei at this time: "Your Majesty, stand up!" Yuwentai's voice echoed in the main hall, and all the ministers were silent.

Emperor Wei, who was weak all over, was frightened by a sudden roar and immediately stood up, and tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

Yuwentai knelt on the ground at this time and saw Emperor Wei, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, you picked up the knife and killed the national thief, Your Majesty, how arrogant were you a few days ago?" ”

Emperor Wei knelt down again at this time, listening to Yuwentai's reprimand tremblingly.

Yuwentai then said loudly: "In the past, Taizu Tuoba Qi Ping Hou Yan Murong clan decided the Great Wei, Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao conquered the south and the north to unify the north, hasn't Your Majesty always wanted to follow the ancestor Hengdao immediately?" You pick up the knife, the courtier's chest is stabbed, the thief is killed, Your Majesty can recreate the Great Wei! ”

Emperor Wei's Yuan Bao Torch was young after all, although he was ready to be killed by Yuwentai and let him suffer the spitting of the Great Wei subjects, but he never expected Yuwentai to be so ruthless, he actually groveled, please die!

Yuwentai then forced Emperor Wei fiercely: "Your Majesty, you pick up the knife, pick up the knife!" ”

Emperor Wei Yuanbao Ju had tears in his eyes, and trembled and explained: "Prime Minister, it's all. . . Others.. Instigate, don't do my thing! ”

Yuwentai opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Who provoked? Your Majesty and name me? ”

The ministers watched dumbfounded in the main hall, and suddenly one of the ministers in the courtiers rushed out of the ranks and reprimanded viciously: "The prime minister persecuted Your Majesty so much, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?" ”

Another minister rebuked: "The prime minister imitated Cao Cao to coerce His Majesty, it was for the Wei thief!" ”

Emperor Wei's ingots torch was spread on the ground, crying silently.

Yu Wentai stood up and laughed: "Haha... It turned out that it was all instigated by you, and when the court disaster came, it shrank back, but the struggle for power and profit was indomitable, mediocre ministers! ”

Yu Wentai laughed and showed his murderous intentions, and ordered Li Bi beside him: "Governor Li Bi, kill all the harem eunuchs and Yongchen, and leave no one behind!" ”

Li Bi led the soldiers in the palace to rush to the harem and launched a massacre, the eunuchs ran for their lives, the blood in the harem flowed all over the place, and the Wei Emperor Yuan Bao Torch shrank into a ball at this time.

At this time, the ministers who were shouting were also slashed on the spot, and they all responded to the ground, and blood filled the hall.

Yu Wentai said loudly: "Don't panic, all the ministers, today I am just on the side of the Qing monarch to clear the traitorous ministers in the court, so as to protect my Western Wei Qingming!" ”

At this time, the governor of Li Bi had already cleaned up all the eunuchs and dissatisfied courtiers, and came behind Yuwentai, at this time the sword had been dripping blood, and Li Bi put the war knife into the sheath.

Yuwentai turned around at this time and helped Emperor Wei to the dragon chair, only to find that Emperor Wei's ingots torch had been scared to pee his pants.

Yu Wentai said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised! I remember that the minister said at the beginning that the minister and His Majesty share honor and disgrace, but His Majesty broke his word and became fat, so the minister had to make this decision, and the blood in the palace flowed like a river, is this the result that His Majesty wants to see? ”

The ministers were frightened by the situation in front of them, and some of them peed their pants directly, and at this time, they heard someone shouting outside the main hall of Weiyang Palace: "Prime Minister, don't hurt Your Majesty!" ”
